How it went down, what it’s like now, and where the country might be heading from the perspective of a startup founder.

How kickbacks are demanded and paid in India’s massive construction industry.

Not denying it

whoa - perfect

Nope - no issues with varicose veins yet. I've also heard that varicose veins can be caused by pushing hard on the toilet!

Good point. Yeah, it's true... sitting for long periods is actually uncomfortable for me. Not just at work, but also on planes and in cars.

Agreed! There's a total disconnect between what we hear from people looking to ease public anxiety and what we see and learn on the news.

It's actually so contagious that even taking off your hazmat suit incorrectly can get you infected. That's because the virus can live for some period on surfaces, and that's the reason why doctors use a buddy system to remove their protective gear. It's also the reason houses, vehicles, and hospital rooms have to be decontaminated after an ebola victim passes through.

According to the World Health Organization: "People can be exposed to Ebola virus from direct physical contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, stool, urine, sweat etc. of an infected person and soiled linen used by a patient."

So, touch an ebola victim's bedsheets and you can get the disease. That's why it's so alarmingly contagious. It is NOT like AIDS and it probably IS something we should worry about. In this case, public paranoia might actually save lives.

Well, you can always turn on the lights!

I hear what you're saying, and I'm definitely sucking in my stomach more in the second photo. But some things are impossible to fake: one can't flex shoulder muscles with the arms down; flexing the stomach doesn't lead to more definition around the lats, flexing doesn't cause the entire torso circumference to shrink relative to upper body.

You also have much better lighting and it appears that you're holding your arms further from your body/flaring your lats a bit. Not doubting that a lot of great work can be achieved in one month, but your photos don't have the consistency that lets somebody actually judge progress (and the changes you're reporting are more qualitative). I haven't reviewed your program though, so I won't try to give an opinion of that. But this sentence I find points to a big cause of achieving fitness goals, "My wife is an excellent cook and prepared perfect meals for me" -- eating healthy doesn't mean you shouldn't eat well.

The lesson here, for me, is that popular posts on HN aren't exactly a treasure trove. I'm not complaining about the money, but I'm somewhat underwhelmed. But you're probably spot on about the playbook.
